Follow the customs or flee the country
In my second Thai Chi class Lars said: Your body should be like the trunk of an elephant, flexible but very strong. After class there was a discussion about the Peoples Party (Dansk Folkeparti) which is now the 3rd largest party in Denmark. Norman showed me one of their ads in the newspaper in which you see a group of veiled women and the sentence: „Follow the customs or flee the country“. They apparently walk on a fine line, know exactly what they are doing and when the antidiscrimination law comes they just laugh. Once a week they post an ad which the politicians then speak about the whole week. Norman says that Denmark is quite cool and not racist, no violent attacks against foreigners, but this populist tactic goes for votes - and gets them. For example Naser Khader, the head of a central right party is now publicly called to have an ‚Arabian carpetseller mentality’ by the Peoples Party... that freaks me out. I wonder why people here then vote for the Peoples Party.
